It’s difficult to believe there’s more to the story of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination that we don’t already know. (Unless you’re Jesse Ventura.) That is, until we meet Marina Oswald, the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, the presumed murderer of our 35th president in Killing Kennedy. Our eternal girl crush Michelle Trachtenberg stars as Marina in the National Geographic Channel film—which premieres Sunday and also stars Rob Lowe as JFK and Ginnifer Goodwin as Jacqueline Kennedy—nearly fifty years since that day in Dallas. We rang up Trachtenberg to learn more about this mystery woman and her role in history.

5.Experience Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. PBS’s nearly two-hour American Masters doc on Jimi Hendrix,Jimi Hendrix - Hear My Train A Comin’, premieres Tuesday and takes you behind-the-scenes of Hendrix’s life, from childhood and parachuting in the U.S. Army, to the Jimi Hendrix Experience and his place in music history. The footage of Hendrix’s iconic performance at Woodstock—with insight from band-mates and friends who were with him—will especially excite music nerds. Check out his rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the festival—which Hendrix describes in the doc as, "We don’t play it to take away all this greatness that America is supposed to have. We play it the way the air is in America today. The air is slightly static"—below.
